TESOL is Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. (more commonly used term in Britain). TEFL is Teaching English as a Foreign Language. (more commonly used term in U.S.A.). ESOL is the learning of English for speakers of other languages. EFL is the learning of English as a Foreign Language. CELTA is the Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults. Please note: there is no practical difference between having a TEFL or TESOL qualification. TEFL/TESOL and CELTA/Trinity carry the same weight in the global job market.
